This study begins with World War One. This war has been selected to begin our analysis because it was the war created by Woodrow Wilson. It was the war to "End All Wars", and to "Make the World Safe for Democracy". Let us see just what the cost was for allowing big government to emerge. We show the real cost of later wars to see just how much war war was eliminated by Woerld War One. We already know that World War One was a total failure at "making the world safe for democracy".
